100 Years of Giving: 1902-2002
Goodwill Industries all around the world celebrated the organization’s rich 100-year history and the five million lives touched by our programs and services. Goodwill’s founder, Edgar J. Helms, has been recognized for this accomplishment in a very special way. The National Park Service has created a new national monument called “The Extra Mile Volunteer Pathway”, inaugurated by President George W. Bush. The monument features hand-sculpted bronze medallions created to honor private citizens who have made a difference in the lives of people in America. The medallions will be placed at the one-mile memorial path adjacent to the White House and U.S. Treasury Department in Washington, D.C. The Pathway’s first medallion is in honor of Goodwill’s founder, Edgar J. Helms. Other honorees include Clara Barton, Martin Luther King, Jr. and Susan B. Anthony.
